Summary

"Forest Build Gains" presents a groundbreaking exploration of timber construction's dual role in combating climate change and enhancing economic efficiency in modern architecture. Through rigorous analysis and real-world case studies, the book reveals how wooden buildings can store up to 50% more carbon than their concrete counterparts, while potentially reducing global construction-related carbon emissions by 31% by 2050.The book progresses systematically through four main sections, beginning with the scientific foundations of wood's environmental benefits and carbon storage capacity. It then delves into operational energy efficiency across different climate zones, followed by detailed economic analyses of construction projects, and concludes with practical implementation strategies.The evolution of timber construction is thoroughly examined, from traditional methods to cutting-edge technologies like cross-laminated timber (CLT) and mass timber systems, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of both historical context and modern applications. What sets this work apart is its data-driven approach to sustainable architecture, offering specific metrics rather than general claims.The book addresses crucial concerns about wooden buildings' durability and fire resistance while providing evidence-based solutions for sustainable forest management. Written for professionals in architecture, urban planning, and environmental policy, it serves as both a practical guide and an authoritative reference, balancing technical expertise with accessibility to inform the future of sustainable construction.

    City livability refers to the quality of life experienced by individuals living in urban areas. It encompasses a wide range of factors that contribute to the overall well-being of urban residents, from physical infrastructure to social, economic, and environmental conditions. The livability of a city is shaped by its ability to provide access to essential services, promote a sense of community, ensure safety, and foster opportunities for growth and development. It is a reflection of how well a city meets the needs of its inhabitants, both in terms of their immediate surroundings and their broader quality of life. 
    At its core, livability is about the balance between convenience, comfort, and sustainability. In urban environments, where high population densities often lead to challenges such as congestion, pollution, and inequality, creating a livable city is crucial for ensuring that residents not only survive but thrive. It is not just about basic services such as healthcare, education, and transportation but also about creating spaces where people can connect, engage with their surroundings, and find opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment. 
    The concept of city livability is also deeply intertwined with urban planning and design. How a city is structured – its streets, buildings, parks, and neighborhoods – directly impacts its livability. A well-planned city can promote walkability, offer green spaces for recreation, reduce noise and air pollution, and ensure efficient access to transportation networks. Conversely, poorly designed cities may suffer from overcrowded and polluted areas, limited green spaces, and inadequate public infrastructure.

    From shark attack survivor to the shark’s biggest advocate, Paul de Gelder tells us just why these majestic diverse animals need our help as much as we need them. 
    Something happens to you the first time you dive with sharks… 
    We have a perennial fascination with sharks. Portrayed in the media and popular culture as killing machines, we are awed by their power and strength. But the shark is so much more – a marvel of the sea, they have evolved over 450 million years into over 500 species, from the bioluminescent kitefin to the tiny dwarf lantern shark, the sociable lemon shark to the cow shark, which can birth up to 100 pups in one litter. Bringing balance to the ocean’s ecosystem, our planet is at serious risk when these amazing creatures are threatened. 
    Paul de Gelder, who lost two limbs in a shark attack during a mission as an elite Australian navy clearance diver, spent time as part of his recovery learning all about sharks. He became so obsessed that, despite what happened to him, he is now an expert and has dedicated his life to helping save them. Shark is his love-letter to these unfairly vilified animals, and his warning to the world about what will happen if we don’t look out for them. 
    In SHARK, Paul de Gelder, a shark attack survivor turned advocate, explores the intricate ecosystems of the seas and oceans. He emphasises the importance of marine conservation and the protection of the diverse habitats that these misunderstood creatures call home. 
    For fans of Daniel C. Abel (The Lives of Sharks), Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Brian Skerry (Shark), David A. Ebert (Sharks of the World), and Lee Schofield (Wild Fell).
